The United Arab Emirates will host the Euroleague Final Four in May 2025 at the Etihad Arena

Abu Dhabi, the capital of the UAE, has been actively investing in the development of sports infrastructure in recent years. The Etihad Arena, located in the picturesque Yas Bay area on Yas Island, has already established itself as a key venue for mixed martial arts competitions. Russian fighter Islam Makhachev has won his major victories here. The modern arena is equipped with the latest technology and is ready to host world-class events. Its capacity is 18,000 spectators, and Final Four tickets are already in great demand.

The tournament, which will be held from May 23 to 25, 2025, will bring together the best basketball players in Europe and attract the attention of sports fans from all over the world. Last year, Panathinaikos Athens won the title, beating Real Madrid 95-80 in the final, setting a record by winning the title for the seventh time in a row.

Kyle Hines holds a special place in the history of the Euroleague, having made 16 blocked shots during his time in the tournament while playing for Olympiacos. The team defeated CSKA Moscow 62-61 in one of the most intense games. Hines has retired, but his achievements remain in the memory of fans. During his career, he also won the Euroleague twice and became the champion of Russia and the VTB United League six times while playing for CSKA. In the 2019 Euroleague Final, he also made a significant contribution to CSKA's victory over Anadolu Efes with a score of 91-83.
